Moreover, the form field does inline counting of *characters* but when you submit the form then it validates number of *bytes*. This causes very big differences (and likely frustration) when entering multibyte characters (non-ascii).
--- ** [tickets:#3517] Character count for Descriptions is inaccurate [23461]** **Status:** open **Labels:** support p3 **Created:** Tue Jan 03, 2012 01:38 PM UTC by Chris Tsai **Last Updated:** Tue Jan 14, 2014 02:32 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/ticket/23461 >So, I go to enter my project description - sankit.

Seems to be the same issue as was closed as wont-fix in [#1602] (though that ticket was before the description field was extended), but I don't see any rationale for the wont-fix in that ticket. --- Sent from sourceforge.net because allura-dev@incubator.apache.org is subscribed to https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/tickets/ To unsubscribe from further messages, a project admin can change settings at https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/admin/tickets/options.
